Arts and sciences are not cast in a mould, but are found and perfected by degrees, by often handling and polishing.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Early Islam was a time of great creativity. Scholars excelled in sciences and literature.
Basmah bint Saud
Image
Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.
Micky Dolenz
Image
To isolate mathematics from the practical demands of the sciences is to invite the sterility of a cow shut away from the bulls.
Pafnuty Chebyshev
Image
There are huge areas where the human mind is apparently incapable of forming sciences, or at least has not done so. There are other areas - so far, in fact, one area only [physics] - in which we have demonstrated the capacity for true scientific progress.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Darwin was a biological evolutionist, because he was first a uniformitarian geologist. Biology is pre-eminent to-day among the natural sciences, because its younger sister, Geology, gave it the means.
Charles Lapworth
Image
Concentration of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, have increased substantially since the beginning of the industrial revolution. And the National Academy of Sciences indicates that the increase is due in large part to human activity.
George W. Bush
Image
...learning chiefly in mathematical sciences can so swallow up and fix one's thought, as to possess it entirely for some time but when that amusement is over, nature will return, and be where it was, being rather diverted than overcome by such speculations.
Gilbert Burnet
Image
All the sciences came to exist in Arabic. The systematic works on them were written in Arabic writing.
Ibn Khaldun
Image
Part of the maturity of the sciences is an appreciation of which questions are best left to other disciplinary approaches.
Howard Gardner
Image
The Academy Awards are passed out on Sunday. It's voted by members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Or as I call them, 50 shades of white.
David Letterman
Image
Mathematics may be the only exception in the sciences that leaves no room for skepicism. But, if mathematical results are exact as no empirical law can ever be, philosophers have discovered that they are not absolutely novel - instead, they are tautological.
Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza
Image
Metaphysics, in whatever latitude the term be taken, is a science, or complement of sciences, exclusively occupied with mind.
Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet
Image
It is a common observation that a science first begins to be exact when it is quantitatively treated. What are called the exact sciences are no others than the mathematical ones.
Charles Sanders Peirce
Image
The Holy Scriptures surpass in efficaciousness all the arts and all the sciences of the philosophers and jurists these, though good and necessary to life here below, are vain and of no effect as to what concerns the life eternal.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole body of the arts and sciences composes one vast machinery for the irritation and development of the human intellect.
Thomas de Quincey
Image
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.
George Brown, Jr.
Image
Logic and metaphysics make use of more tools than all the rest of the sciences put together, and do the least work.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
In the material sciences these are and have been, and are most surely likely to continue to be heroic days.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Image
The more progress physical sciences make, the more they tend to enter the domain of mathematics, which is a kind of centre to which they all converge. We may even judge the degree of perfection to which a science has arrived by the facility with which it may be submitted to calculation.
Adolphe Quetelet
Image
At different times I taught humanities, social sciences and pre-vocational education.
Estelle Morris, Baroness Morris of Yardley
Image
In the evening, since I have a lot of friends in theater, we might take in a Deaf West production in North Hollywood, or, since I'm a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, they have screenings that are really great.
